Hands-on Training

Nothing beats real-life experience in your field of study. NU courses require an internship, and faculty members and career development counselors help match students with the employers that are best for them. Many internships and co-op experiences are even paid!

Writing Internships

Students who major in English or minor in Writing Studies are strongly encouraged to complete a writing internship. In an internship, students work at a local business or organization and receive course credit (and sometimes compensation) for their work. You are also asked to write reports and discuss your experience with a faculty member. The objective of the program is to integrate classroom theory and practical work experience, thus lending relevancy to learning and providing students with a realistic exposure to career opportunities.

For descriptions of internship and co-op courses, please see the course description page. For more information about internships, please contact Dr. Paula Kot, internship coordinator, at 716.286.8625, or email her at pkot@niagara.edu.
